About reCAPTCHA

A “CAPTCHA” is a turing test to tell human and bots apart. It is easy for humans to solve, but hard for “bots” and other malicious software to figure out. By adding reCAPTCHA to a site, you can block automated software while helping your welcome users to enter with ease.

Why am I getting CAPTCHA on every site?

Reasons why you might get multiple CAPTCHAs:

Your Internet Service Provider gave you an IP address that was previously used by hackers within the past few weeks, so our firewall is now mistaking you for a hacker. To fix this, reset your internet router, so you can get a new IP address.

Why does Chrome keep asking if I'm a robot?

Why do companies use I am not a robot?

“I'm not a robot” is a version of reCAPTCHA and uses various cues to determine if the user is a human or a bot.

Why does Google ask if I'm a robot when using a VPN?

The main reason why you keep having to solve a captcha is that most VPNs use shared IP addresses. In other words, you and many other users are using the same IP address.

Can a bot hack you?

Malware bots and internet bots can be programmed/hacked to break into user accounts, scan the internet for contact information, to send spam, or perform other harmful acts.
